A high-contrast serif with slender hairlines and weighty, tapering verticals that often widen into flared stroke endings rather than finishing in blunt brackets. The shapes favor sharp, clean terminals, with occasional pointed tips and fine entry/exit strokes that give many letters a slightly calligraphic, engraved feel. Counters are generally open and rounded, while joins and intersections are narrow and precise, producing a crisp rhythm at display sizes. Uppercase proportions read tall and stately; lowercase keeps a moderate x-height with elegant ascenders and descenders and a distinctly sculpted, variable-thickness flow across strokes.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, mastheads, campaign posters, and brand identities that want a polished, high-end voice. It can also work for short pull quotes, chapter openers, and upscale packaging where large sizes allow the fine hairlines and flared endings to read cleanly.
The overall tone is refined and theatrical, mixing classical sophistication with a bold editorial punch. Its strong light–dark contrast and flared endings create a sense of luxury and ceremony, suggesting fashion-led or prestige communication rather than utilitarian text.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a high-contrast serif: sharp and modern in finish, but rooted in classical letterform structure. The flared stroke endings and tapered transitions emphasize drama and refinement, aiming for maximum impact in display settings.
In the samples, thin details and sharp terminals become a defining texture, so spacing and background contrast will strongly influence clarity. Numerals and capitals feel particularly confident and poster-ready, while the lowercase retains an expressive, slightly calligraphic sparkle.
